Bio 2 test 1

taxonomy

science of describing, naming, classifying living and extinct organisms and viruses; try to get into groups

systematics

biodiversity and evolutionary relationships between organisms extinct and modern

what is each group/level in the hierarchial system of taxonomy

a taxon

what is the highest level in the succession

domain

what are the three domains

bacteria, eukarya, and archaea

what is eukarya usually divided into

kingdoms or the 4 kingdom concept

what are the 4 kingdom in eukarya

protists, plantae, fungi, and animalia

what kingdom are prokaryotic cells in

bacteria and archaea

what kingdom are eukaryotic cells in

eukarya

prokaryotic cells

before nucleus, no nucleus, no membrane bound organelles, everything done on cell membrane, plasma and inefficent

eukaryotic cells

true nucleus, nucleus, membrane bound organelles, internal membrane system (compartments) allow for bigger organisms, everything done in compartments

binomial nomenclature

2 words and name, genus name and specific epithet; genus always capitalized and specific epithet never capitalized, ensure all talking about same thing instead of common words

who proposed binomial nomenclature

carolus linnaeus in 1753, artificial because we assign it so the actually species does not decide it

phylogeny

evolutionary history of species or group of species, to propose this used systematics, usually based on morphological (physical) or genetic data, more on the tree the better the model

phylogentic trees

hypothesis of evolutionary relationships among various species not 100% accurate, genetic and physical and morphological

monophyletic group or clade

group of species, taxon, consisting of the most recent commpn ancestor and all of its descendents

paraphyteic group

contains a common ancestor and some but not all of its descendents

morphological analysis

first systematics studies focused on morpholgocial features of extinct and modern species, most of early classification methods used this and animal embryonic development

molecular systematics

analysis of genetic data like DNA, RNA, and amino acid sequences to identify and study genetic similarities and propose phylogentic trees, the model will give number percent similarity

True or false: dna and amino acid sequences from closely related species are more similar to each other than to sequences from more distant related

true

prokaryotic diversity

prokaryotic fossils dated at 3.5 billion years,doma modern prokarytoes are most abundant, lacking sexual reproduction

domain bacteria

proteobacteria - “true bacteria” cyanobacteria - “blue green bacteria”

domain archaea

have an ‘almost’ bacteria specialized membranes, surrounded by wall

eukaryotic diversity- kingdom protista

earliest in fossil record, moist environment, microscopic, DNA— separate groups, “catch all” category

algae— plant like (mostly) 10 groups, autotrophic, few ingest food, unicellular through large multicell, cell wall

protozoans— animal like, heterotrophic, many unicellular, amoeba, paramecium, a sexual reproduction

fungal like protists— mostly saprotrophic (absorb food), mostly multicellular, slime molds

kingdom plantae

over 330,000 species, multicellular, mostly autotrophic, some not green, some parasites, fossils dated to 400 mybp, ancestral stock is probably some form of green algae but not currently living, 10 phyla, typically combined phyla into 4 broad catgeories for convience

requirements for kingdom plantae

food storage compound —starch

cell wall— cellulose (most abundant carb)

photosynthetic pigments — chlorophylls (A=green, B=beta carotene)

bryophytes

heptophyta (liverworts), anthocerophyta (hornworts), bryophyta (mosses); mosses and their allies, reproduce by spores, non vascular, external water for reproduction

pteridophytes

lycopodiophyta (lycophytes), pteriodophyta (ferns and allies), grouped as ferns and relatives; reproduce by sporesm vascular plants with xylem and phloem allow for large size, “true roots” because vascular, require external water because of flagellated sperm

gymnosperms

cycadophyta (cycads), ginkophyta (ginko), gnetophyta (gnetophytes), coniferophyta (conifers); similar seeds beacuse “naked seeds” — not enclosed in vessel, biggest conifers (cone bearing trees), vascular plants is more advanced, seeds have survival value but no vessel, embryo-store food-integument (coat), no external water needed for reproduction because of pollen tube

angiosperms

anthophyta (over 300,000); produce flowers-fruits, msot advanced tissue and seeds enclosed in a vessel→embryo-food-2 integuements- enclosed in fruit

top four things to know about angiosperms

91% of species, most advanced, flowers attract pollinators, fruit protecs seed and dispersal

what are the biggest confiers in the gymnosperm phyla

old pine, big sequioa, tall redwood aka bristlecone, giant, coastal

animal diversity

kingdom animalia, over 2.5 million species (1/2 insects), 35 phyla, more similaritites with in animal genomes than others, have the most information, earliest and most simple animal is sponge

characteristics for kingdom animalia

multicellular, lack cell wall, sexual reproduction with mobile small sperm and large egg, nervous tissue (complex, sensory), hox genes, heterotrophs, similar RNA

hox genes

clusters of genes laying out body design, all animals have and larger animals have more

metazoans

multicellular animals, parazoans-sponges, eumetazoans- ‘true’ multicellular animals

classification of kingdom animalia

morphology, molecular genetics, embryonic development (mostly same in the kingdom)

body plans for kingdom animalia

morphological and developmental features:

body symmetry- balanced proportions of body on sides of a plane

number of tissue layers- embryonic =germ layer

patterns of embryonic development- blastopore = 1st embryonic opening

symmetry

eumetazoa divided by symmetry; radiata- radially symmetry ( 2 tissue layers), divivded equally by any plane through central axis, often circular with opening with one end; bilateria- bilatteraly symmetric (3 tissue layers), divided a long vertical plane to get two halves, have cephalization (head region) and dorsal and ventral sides, have anterior and posterior ends

tissues

an aggregation of functionally similar cells; metazoa- all animals divided on specialized tissues; parazoa- without special tissues and organs— porifera sponges and maybe distinct cell types; eumetazoa- more than one tissue type and organ — all other animals

radiata germ layers

diploblastic 2 layers, endoderm inner layer, exoderm outer layer

bilateria germ layers

triploblastic 3 layers, endoderm inner layer, exoderm outer layer, mesoderm middle layer that forms muscles and other organs

germ layers

develop during gestation, radiata and bilateria have different embryonic cell layers

protstome embryonic development

blastopore becomes mouth (first opening)

deuterostome embryonic development

blastopore becomes anus (1st anus, 2nd mouth), advanced

what traits are not reliable according to molecular data to make phylogenies

coelon (body cavity) and body segmentation

body cavity

coelom - fluid filled body cavity, coelomate or eucoelomate (true coelom)- lines completely with mesoderm and advanced, pseudocoelomate- partially lines with mesoderm rotifers and roundworms, acoelomate- lack of body cavity and instead have mesenchym (stuffing) and primitive

functions of coelom

cushions internal organs, enables movement and growth of internal organs independently of body wall, fluid acts as a simple cirulatory system

segmentation

body might be divided into regions called segments - occurs in worms arthropods and chordates and is specialization of body regions, over a million arthropoda is largest

what two species dont have organs in the animal kingdom

sponges and jellyfish

genes used in molecular studies

rRNA is often focused on universal in all organisms and change slowly overtime; hox genes are often studied and are gound in all animals and duplications might have led to evolution of complex body forms (vertebrates), phylogenies made using rRNA and hox genes are similar and often agree with those based on morpholgy
